Title: Fire Orange Dark Standard Issue staff review Post by: Master Nero Attoru on June 21, 2011, 10:21:49 PM So it's finally time for me to do a review! At long last I have my fire orange staff in my hands and I must say, it is all that I expected out of an Ultrasabers product. I've seen the standard issue staff, but I have to say I REALLY like the contrast on the dark version between the black and the silver. Truly a beauty to behold. Overall I'm very happy, the 32" heavy grade blades are a good fit for the staff and allow for maneuverability in both staff form and as separate sabers.

Just a disclaimer, the golden color it shows in the picture isn't entirely accurate - the true color is much more orange, truly a fiery looking shade worthy of its name. Apart from that... I guess there's not much more to tell. Hilt feels sturdy and is free of obstructions which I like, balance is nice, the slanted emitter is wicked looking. Finally, the color is just what I was looking for, and I cannot WAIT to take this baby for a test run tonight. I'll let you know how it goes! Any questions or comments are welcome. I can get some more pics of it if you'd like, just let me know what you want to know or see and I'd be happy to help out.

Great mind must think alike, because I have literally that exact saber staff XD It truly is awesome and fantastic for dueling. I spar with my brother and we used Ultraedge Heavygrades. We swing full force, and they have amazing durability.

And this is it connected (http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k579/SithLordBubba/photo9.jpg) Title: Re: Fire Orange Dark Standard Issue staff review Post by: Sith Lord Marus on June 22, 2011, 05:19:07 AM (http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k579/SithLordBubba/photo2.jpg)

It's just so awesome that you have the EXACT same saberstaff! Hey don't worry about it man, I appreciate the additional pics - I had more but they were kind of repetitive and I was feeling lazy lol. Honestly, they contribute towards my review since we have the same saber haha I got to use it last night and it is very nice, the gf and I went outside and did a little dueling and wow does it have a good balance to it. Now I just have to perfect my use of a staff... help me Artorius Vidnyl you're my only hope... haha.

Staff Dueling is a totally new level! Title: Re: Fire Orange Dark Standard Issue staff review Post by: Darkhorse V on June 22, 2011, 01:28:00 PM Awesome saber man, glad you like it! Seems very versatile. I'm trying to figure out how to get the two halves of a staff to be either the same or opposite in direction - looks like you have the same issue from the pic up there. If I get it figured out I'll let you know. I'm thinking a thin washer under the coupler but I have yet to find one!

Title: Re: Fire Orange Dark Standard Issue staff review Post by: NavyGodzilla on January 29, 2012, 10:04:17 PM Is the Fire Orange a custom order or did you personally augment the LED?

Nope, you can get the Fire Orange from Ultra Sabers as one of the standard colors and it's very sweet. ;D Title: Re: Fire Orange Dark Standard Issue staff review Post by: Darth Unobtanium on January 30, 2012, 05:38:14 AM That is a sweet staff. It looks very menacing :D
Title: Re: Fire Orange Dark Standard Issue staff review Post by: Master Nero Attoru on January 30, 2012, 12:59:38 PM Thanks guys! Funny how these threads get resurrected...
Fire Orange is one of the original 5 colors made by Ultrasabers. Like the other four originals, it is created using a single-color LED, and is a very tangerine type of orange. These pics of mine aren't 100% accurate - I would say Fire Orange is darker and more orange than the amber blades you see here. |
